Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

Nick and Josh from AFS CONCRETE LEAVELING came out to relevel my driveway after some settling issues caused it to pull apart some. They both explained to me what the remedie would be. Going forward, Nick showed me by using his level that any water accumulation would now run off the concrete instead of pondering. They both did an amazing job as Josh showed me the procedure on sealing the cracks that had opened up. Both these guys were professional and highly recommended!

A huge thank you to Jason! Since we moved into our house a year and a half ago, we've been hearing a strange wood-rubbing sound quite frequently. After doing some research online, I suspected there might be an issue with the foundation, so I reached out to Bay Area Underpinning, one of the few foundation companies that offer free on-site estimates. Jason Dye arrived right on time, carefully checked for any cracks, assessed the foundation levels, and measured the moisture level in the crawl space with their tools. He then provided his professional opinions. Jason is really nice, honest, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Very Impressive company! I recently hired Groundwork’s and I couldn’t be more impressed! Jose Campos and his team; Luke Cummings, Zaw Tun, and Cleveland Buckley demonstrated a high level of expertise and attention to detail. They arrived on time ‘ready to work’, adding 10 caissons in a very limited workspace underneath my childcare building crawlspace. They were polite, and considerate of the importance of cleaning up, upon ending each work day, they left the area spotless! This Groundwork’s team exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them.

Just had a consultation with Tyler about sealing up my basement and was blown away with how thorough and knowledgeable he was. I learned a lot about this process and what it takes to be done. I will definitely be choosing Bakers to do this job in the future.
